The children in the three groups involved in the experiment were made to act for seven weeks in different ways. Experimental group 1 performed an art program using picture books. Experimental group 2 performed an art program using famous paintings. Control group performed a traditional art program based on expression activities which had generally done in kindergarten. All three classes conducted posttest about art ability(art appreciation ability and artistic expression ability) after pretest and seven weeks experimental treatment for seven weeks. SPSS(Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) 10.0 computer program was employed for the data analysis.

The results of this study were as follows. 1. The picture book art program and famous painting art program had an effect on children's art appreciation ability. In art appreciation ability, it was shown that experimental group 1 that participated in a picture book art program was the most effective, the control group was the least.
